Anxiety can feel overwhelming, expressing itself differently in each person. Whether it is racing thoughts, a tightness in the chest with palpitations, sweaty palms, sleepless nights, homeopathy approaches anxiety as a unique expression of imbalance in the person experiencing such symptoms.
With the information I gather of your physical symptoms, emotional triggers and even fears or dreams, I select a remedy that matches your overall pattern. The end goal is to restore your innate balance, not just to remove your symptoms. This individualisation is why homeopathy is so successful at removing the root cause of conditions.
Some common Homeopathic Remedies for Anxiety:
Aconitum napellus: for sudden intense panic or fear, often after a shock or fright. The person may feel that they are in danger or fear death.
Argentum nitricum: for anticipatory anxiety, nervousness before public speaking or travel. Symptoms might include digestive upsets or impulsiveness.
Gelsemium sempervirens: for trembling, weakness and performance anxiety. Feeling dull, heavy and wanting to be left alone.
Ignatia amara: for grief, emotional ups and downs, or nervous tension after a loss or disappointment. Sighing, a lump in the throat and mood swings are common.
Kali phosphoricum: for long term stress or nervous exhaustion. Ideal when anxiety leads to fatigue, poor concentration or sleeplessness.
Please note, if you try one or more of these remedies and the symptoms do not subside, consult a homeopathic practitioner who will pinpoint a more closely aligned remedy.
Seek professional help if your anxiety is severe, persistent or affecting your daily life.

From Clinical practice:
One of my patients had been taking a very strong anti-anxiety drug as well as a high dose of a sleeping pill for several years. They helped to a certain extent, however she was still quite anxious during the daytime and needed to follow a strict routine to be able to fall asleep. Within 6 months she had halved her medications, within a year had completely stopped the sleeping pill, reduced the anti-anxiety medicine and was only occasionally taking the homeopathic remedy I had prescribed her for her anxiety.
